Mars went to see Wicked and she loved it too.

In fact, everyone I know that has seen it has said it's the best musical they've seen in a long time.

(Am I plugging it enough?!)

novicecamper - i watched the trailer and it seems like just the usual musical rubbish to me

she doesn't like ballet or opera. mum would be happy with any musical she loves them all. can't ask her which one she'd prefer cos it is meant to be a surprise. thinking about it i think she mentioned billy elliot a while back but will have to check with my aunt that they didn't see it when they were in london.

Trailer is not impressive I must admit, it doesn't do it justice.

Anyway, that's my last word on it but if you don't go and see it you are missing out.
